Beer clarified that the individual seen in the photo is not a United Hatzalah volunteer. According to the organization’s investigation, the sweatshirt was likely stolen on October 7th from one of the homes of United Hatzalah volunteers in communities surrounding Gaza. Beer emphasized that while there is no immediate security threat, the organization wanted to make the public aware of the situation.
United Hatzalah, a well-respected emergency medical service in Israel, has long been dedicated to providing aid to all communities, regardless of background or faith. The organization remains committed to its lifesaving mission, despite the unfortunate incident. Beer’s statement aimed to ensure transparency and calm, reinforcing that the stolen item posed no security risk, while also alerting the public to the potential misuse of their brand.

Just another ”innocent Palestinian civilian” walking around in clothing possibly belonging to a murdered Jew, and definitely stolen during a bloody massacre.
I also see some terrorists wearing UN jackets!
She would look even better with a bullet hole in his head……. but United Hatzalah won’t help him.
I’m sending some extra Hatzolas Nefashos merch to Gaza right away! Those poor innocent, peace loving gentle souls! They look sooooo cold!
The way to solve the problem is to put several bullet holes in the sweatshirt to render it distinctive, of course this should be done while the paly is wearing it. no need to waste bullets.
Jews get a bad rap for figuring out how to snag free attire. Terrorists who steal their clothes are left off the hook.
Being a successful thief in the Hamas world is like being a honest and successful businessman in the Jewish world.
